SinClair The Author

Raised on the mean and desperate streets of Cleveland, Ohio, a city ranking negatively high in every category in the nation. SinClair found himself sitting in prison for the charges of Aggravated Murder, in which he served 12 years.

Being sent to an Adult Prison at the age of 16, is equivalent to a domestic cat being placed in a jungle full of ravenous animals. You either become a Tiger or lunch. During imprisonment SinClair acquired an associate degree in liberal arts from Ashland University, a strong work ethic from being a “modern day slave” for the prison farm, as well became a highly successful Pugilist (Boxer). During it all a passion for writing was spawned.

Upon being released he was employed as an Intermediate Truck Driver...Failed, Line Cook...Failed, Athlete (Boxer)...Failed. Returning to prison was what he didn’t fail to do. While sitting in a 12 x 6-foot cell reflecting on the many other things he failed at: Fatherhood; Being a son, brother or uncle, and failed relationships. It was suggested he began jotting down his thoughts, which in turn fertilized his forgotten passion for writing. Which in turn produced a total of 13 books.

For years Cleveland, Ohio has been termed “The Mistake on the Lake”, in the same manner ex-felons are considered “The Black Sheep of Society”. Both descriptions suggest there’s no futuristic hope. The books by SinClair are efforts to shine lights on both the City of Cleveland and those behind fences and 40-foot walls, deemed not ‘sufficient enough’ for this Union called the United States.

Today, SinClair again lives in the city of Cleveland, surrounded by the many negatives existing. Instead of again becoming a victim to the harshness that exists, he’s using the activities of the streets and people’s lives to entertain as he writes his Urban Novel’s.
